He was as good a scorer as I'd ever seen in that brief stretch before he got injured. It's not absurd to put him in the conversation with guys like Kobe or Iverson during that period, at least in terms of scoring.
But yeah, he made plenty of stupid decisions that ultimately killed his career. The injuries capped his ceiling but the gun stuff just ended him outright. Though given the guy he got into it with, Crittendon, IIRC actually went and killed someone and is now in jail...well, that team had issues.
